Mongols (motorcycle club)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mongols MC is a motorcycle club located in the United States and Mexico that was formed in the San Fernando Valley of California in the 1970s [1]. The club claims chapters in California, where law enforcement officials estimate there are 200 to 350 members, Nevada, Oklahoma, Colorado, Arizona, and Montana.
In 2002, members of the Mongols and the Hells Angels MC had a confrontation in Laughlin, Nevada at the Harrah's Laughlin Casino, that left three bikers dead. Police intelligence reports indicate that the Mongols initiated the confrontation to bolster their status. [2]
The Mongols are currently listed as an Outlaw Motorcycle Gang by the Attorney General of California [3].
